I've been a happy omg.lol subscriber for years, originally as a fun little joke but it's actually pretty useful and I use my profile as my "link in bio" for twitter and other social sites. The founder, Adam, is a genuinely good dude. He just keeps adding more features and the service gets better and better.

It seems like a very nice service. It is great to hear that they are already around for quite some time. And remember: if you’re not paying, you are the product. This seams both very reasonably priced and also priced high enough that if you take a little care at running things well it can be sustainable

> I've been a happy omg.lol subscriber for years Interesting, how many years would you estimate it's been around? I see their Mastodon server is pretty new (since last July) and wayback doesn't have the homepage archived at all. Can't think of another way of checking.

  The domain was registered in 2019 and work started later - as they say on their "About" page. So "subscriber for years" where years <= 2.

    I can chime in here, service has been running for a little under 4 years. I have been subscribed for over 3.5 years.

      Then I'm confused, did it have a different name back then?

        The omg.lol domain was registered on 2019-03-13. From then to now is 3 years 9 months and ~20 days.

This is around for years and the chewbacca.omg.lol and the lukeskywalker.omg.lol are still available to snatch?! Omg!

  There are also plenty of two letter subdomains left, so I guess it just never got that popular.

    That's exactly what I saw today. Got my initials. :-) As comparison: I've got a two letter GitHub account and joined in late 2009, so 1.5 years after its founding.

      I got my first name on Github and now on omg.lol. I feel so fortunate.

        My childhood friend got his 4-letter first name @gmail.com. First mover.

        I got gmail during beta (earlyish 2004) and couldn't register anything under 6 characters (AFAIR). Got my last name though.
